patterns of belonging

On view until February 2, 2025
Central Branch, Glass Case Gallery

The collection patterns of belonging showcases Toronto-based artist Tania Love’s reflections on the interconnected cycles of nature and human experience. Inspired by Lake Ontario’s shoreline patterns and imagined rivers coursing through our city and ourselves, this collection offers an intimate exploration of life’s connectivity. Tania’s hand-cut paper pieces resemble water bubbles, salt marks, and microscopic tissue, evoking a delicate balance of fragility and resilience. Her work is a gentle reminder of our deep ties to nature’s rhythms and cycles.
